Drill ends; airport delays continue

Some outgoing flights leaving Ben Gurion Airport are being delayed, after a defense drill which delayed civilian air traffic ended at 6 p.m.

Some passengers were not at all aware that a drill was taking place and did not anticipate the delay. According to Ynet, some passengers were stuck inside airplanes and the airport’s management connected the aircraft to external air conditioning, since planes cannot operate A/C when their engines are off.
